Formula review

WIMJ summary

This product does not offer good protection against UVA rays.

This product can be considered "reef safe" because it does not contain the UV filters (oxybenzone and octinoxate) that can be harmful to coral reefs when present in the water in high concentrations.

WIMJ summary

This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: beeswax, ricinus communis seed oil.

Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
ricinus communis seed oil A plant oil that can help soften the skin. It might be helpful in calming down inflammation, but solid research is lacking. Is often used in lip products to create the needed product consistency	25% - 37%
beeswax Forms a protective barrier that holds water and keeps dry skin hydrated. Keeps an emulsion from separating into its oil and liquid components, and increases the thickness of a product. Can be an allergen	6.6% - 9.9%
hydrogenated olive oil decyl esters Helps stabilize the product formulation	4.9% - 7.4%
simmondsia chinensis seed oil Softens the upper layer of skin and helps restore the healthy skin barrier. Has shown to help calm down inflammation in skin. It is a stable oil, meaning that it retains its properties even when exposed to air.	3.8% - 5.7%
ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate Octinoxate. When used in higher concentrations, works as a sunscreen protecting the skin from UVB rays. When used in lower concentration, helps to preserve the product formulation. Is shown to be harmful to coral reefs - consider avoiding bathing in coral reef areas when wearing a product with this ingredient. It can be irritating	3.3% - 4.9%
vitis vinifera seed oil A great emollient that can also have anti-oxidant properties	2.1% - 3.1%
parfum An aromatic blend of unspecified and possibly irritating ingredients	1.4% - 2.2%
copernicia cerifera cera Brazilian palm wax. Helps soften the upper layer of the skin	1.5% - 2.3%
persea gratissima oil An emollient that helps soften the skin and could be helpful in repairing its barrier function	1.1% - 1.7%
limnanthes alba seed oil This oil's cmposition is closest to rapeseed oil. It is a very stable oil and serves as an emoillient	0.9% - 1.35%
passiflora incarnata seed oil A plant oil that can help soften the upper layer of the skin. Contains essential oil that can be irritating	0.5% - 1.2%
sucrose tetrastearate triacetate	0.5% - 1.15%
citrus limon peel oil A highly irritating fragrance	0.35% - 0.85%
ribes nigrum seed oil An emollient. Can be helpful for restoring skin barrier function.	0.45% - 1%
tocopherol Pure form of vitamin E. Can help moisturise and protect the skin from free radicals. Often used to help stabilise other ingredients or the formula itself	0.3% - 0.75%
ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate A vitamin C derivative. Studies show that is might be effective in reducing hyperpigmentation, but there are no studies confirming that it is effectively converted into the bioavailable form of Vitamin C in skin. It is not clear how this derivative compares in effectiveness to the topical application of bioavailable form of vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid)	0.35% - 0.85%
ascorbyl palmitate Being a lipid soluble form of vitamin C, it is more stable and can penetrate the skin better than L-Ascorbic acid. It is effective in protecting the skin from free radicals, as well as evening the skin tone, but is less effective in stimulating collagen production compared to L-Ascorbic acid.	0.15% - 0.6%
ammonium glycyrrhizate	0.15% - 0.65%
vanillin	0.1% - 0.5%
bht A preservative	0.1% - 0.4%
limonene A common frangrance that can easily irritate skin, especially if exposed to air, light or heat	0.1% - 0.35%
citral A fragrance with a lemon scent. A likely irritant	0.05% - 0.3%
linalool A fragrance. Can be irritating	0.05% - 0.25%
benzyl alcohol A preservative. Can be used to mask unpleasant smell. Can be irritating	0.05% - 0.2%
